I'm definitely not against hydrogen as an energy source, but I am very much against fossil fuel propaganda. They only like it because it allows them to continue making money on fossil fuels, in fact they will kill any research into hydrogen fuel cell production that doesn't require fossil fuels. That's why I eye anything putting hydrogen in a good light with suspicion until it calls out the use of fossil fuels or at least mentions it.

Green washing, is one of my pet peeves, especially when it comes to hydrogen. It's just too insidious and easy for folks to get behind and too easy for fossil fuel companies to paint a green future as reliant on hydrogen (and thus on fossil fuels). "Oh yeah we're Definitely going to work on a way to create hydrogen fuel cells without fossil fuels. we'll get right on that!" It's effective considering getting posted on a solarpunk instance and gaining a fair amount of upvotes

I'm not saying there's not a place for hydrogen lol. I'm pointing out that this particular piece and I'd wager to say that vast majority of "hydrogen is the future" articles and shit is pure fossil fuel propaganda, and that the only thing I care about re hydrogen is advancements in hydrogen fuel cell production WITHOUT fossil fuel use, or otherwise actual green hydrogen usage. In your example, is hydrogen used to reduce the amount of fossil fuels in steel manufacturing or is just part of the normal process?
